The Teamsters applied for variance of the bargaining unit to include Transportation Assistants, safety divers, automotive mechanics and body persons. Representatives of the Film Council, local 891 and local 669 initially applied to intervene. Following informal discussions, the application was held in abeyance and some of the disputes between the unions were later resolved through a jurisdictional dispute resolution process that had been established among the member unions of the Film Council. This decision dealt with the one remaining issue in dispute – the appropriateness of inclusion of the position of Transportation Assistant. With respect to this issue, local 891 did not oppose the Teamster’s application. After considering general appropriateness principles, the Board granted the Teamster’s application for variance to include the position of Transportation Assistant.
